Note: Before installing this product, read and follow all warning notices and instructions in this
manual.
Introduction
The following general information describes how to install the Tagelus
under pressure and if assembled improperly or operated with air in the water circulation system, it can separate
and result in an accident causing property damage or serious bodily injury. A warning label has been affixed to
the top of the filter and should not be removed. Keep safety labels in good condition and replace if missing or
illegible.
How Your Filter Works
Your high rate sand filter is designed to operate for years with a minimum of maintenance and when installed,
operated and maintained in accordance with these instructions, it will provide years of trouble free operation.
Dirt is collected in the filter as the water flows through the control valve at the top of the filter and is directed
downward onto the top surface of the filter sand bed. The dirt is collected in the sand bed and the clean water
flows through the lower piping at the bottom of the filter up through the center pipe into the control valve at the
top of the filter. Clean water then returns through the piping system into the pool.
The pressure will rise and the flow to the pool will be lowered as the dirt is collected in the filter. Eventually, the
filter will become so plugged with dirt that it will be necessary to perform the backwash procedure. It is important to
know when to backwash the filter. Backwashing is discussed further under the subsequent sections of this guide.
Please note that a filter removes suspended matter and does not sanitize the pool. The pool water must be
sanitized and the water must be chemically balanced for sparkling clear water. Your filtration system should be
designed to meet your local health codes. As a minimum, you must be sure that your system will turn over the
total volume of water in your pool at least twice in a twenty-four hour period.
Refer to Table 1 for Filter Operation Data.

Failure to operate your filter system or inadequate filtration can cause poor water clarity obstructing visibility in your pool and
can allow diving into or on top of obscured objects which can cause serious personal injury or drowning.
Clear water is the result of proper filtration as well as proper water chemistry. Pool chemistry is a specialized
area and you should consult your local pool service specialist for specific details. In general, proper pool
sanitation requires a free chlorine level of 1 to 2 PPM and a pH range of 7.2 to 7.6.
